Sorry if I sound ignorant in asking this..... if it is in fact common knowledge it yet eludes me...... if there any way to play European games on american ps3's (legally)??? I read awhile back that if your using an HD television there should be no problems as the display specs (or something of that nature....) are the same....

Also, if it at all makes a difference, the PS3 I am using is a launch model with the PS2 backward compatability (primarily) but I also have a second one that is a bit newer lacking that backward compatability....
